  • GoodwinKatt Katt Goodwin (@GoodwinKatt) reported

    @BlizzardCS Favorite game mode is just literally not ******* playable. Stop groping your coworkers and fix overwatch. Please.

  • HighRoadIsRight How Fun Is That?🇺🇸🗽 (@HighRoadIsRight) reported

    Fellow gamers are getting annoying. Had Overwatch just called it 2.0 they would be fine with it? Lol. You're excited for the CoD 2.0 lol. And also all the crap people are reporting as being "broken" is fixed. Just. Can we slow down a little?

  • illbedanged illbedanged (@illbedanged) reported

    Want to Overwatch? As long as I'm not working I'm down to play. Illbedanged#11644 I usually play support but I am flexible.

  • jaycelawrence_ Jayce Lawrence (@jaycelawrence_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Every time I get an xbox achievement, I’m booted from the game. Super frustrating. A fix or even recognition of the issue would be nice #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • YonkoJoey One Piece Rewatch 304/977 (@YonkoJoey) reported

    Sure wish I could play Overwatch 2 and not Login Error LC-208 simulator.

  • WeaverStar AJ Irwin 🛸 (@WeaverStar) reported

    Haha how is overwatch 2 still not working

  • ethan_rogers70 ▪️ (@ethan_rogers70) reported

    @YouTubeTV fix yo servers man! I can’t even watch the games. Looking like Overwatch out here

  • spiceseaa ꒰ა 💙 ໒꒱ (@spiceseaa) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Used to play OW1 with no lag issues on high graphics, I am now forced to play on low settings and my game is still the laggiest piece of **** ever, I play cyberpunk with higher quality fps on ultra settings, this is ridiculous, why does overwatch need graphic settings that high?

  • SC21012022 S C (@SC21012022) reported

    @Ardian3Fiky @itsmeclam I mean bronze 5 bugs, the constant disconnects in competitive, everyone acting like the game has no issues, yep, tank leaves the match and can’t rejoin - gets banned for 15 mins, gg next at that point. How blizzard can **** the NetCode is beyond me, overwatch 1 at least worked.

  • BigBoySmoke69 BigBoy (@BigBoySmoke69) reported

    Pt1 @XboxSupport @BlizzardCSEU_EN @PlayOverwatch I keep having a recurring issue on series x with a new enough controller (I've used it on other games for 2 months so I know it works fine) I'm having this issue on overwatch 2 where my controller keeps disconnecting and staying on

  • Kazukama1 Kazukama (@Kazukama1) reported

    Another bug I've noticed is kiriko heals targeting dead teammates, idk if it was ping (was playing on 180) but for at least 3 clicks it was auto targeting a dead Lucio.....any one else have this issue or could it be the ping??? #Overwatch2 #Overwatch @PlayOverwatch

  • DoubleG2019 GG (@DoubleG2019) reported

    @ItsSomjuu Overwatch 2 is straight garbage. If something ain’t broke don’t fix it. And good lord did they try to fix everything and ****** it all up

  • Cash_Becker Cash Becker (@Cash_Becker) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I only have a pre paid phone plan. Cant change my plan. Am I screwed from ever playing overwatch 2? I also have MW2 pre ordered for vault edition.. heard sms protect is gonna be on that to. Will I have to cancel my pre order? Or can you fix this? Both are for my PS5

  • Arachnoprism Lil_ is chilling in cedar rapids φ (@Arachnoprism) reported

    Does anyone know if the usa servers for overwatch 2 are still having queue waiting time problems?

  • 333MAGiK MAGiK / Calvin (@333MAGiK) reported

    Overwatch randomly turns off after playing between 20 sec and 5 min. No error message, just closes the game... Updated drivers already 😔

  • CharlotteMedler Sharlut ♣ @World 5-3 (@CharlotteMedler) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN where do I report bugs to overwatch because the forums only give "technical support" but I'm not looking to support, I'm looking to report an error. :)

  • br00dalkid ComradeCaleb (@br00dalkid) reported

    @LivelyOfMana @daretolive88 @Phlosio It's not what you go to it for. That is true. I just like... Don't care though. If I care about pvp...in 2022...I'm probably hopping on Apex or something. Or maybe even Overwatch if they ever like fix the new game. No one gives a **** about Halo multiplayer in ******* 2022 lol

  • idkmanwow Firebert 👿 (@idkmanwow) reported

    @theMoneyFolder 2CP is an aspect of Overwatch that pits experienced players against newbie players. New players struggle with holding a point, and struggle with making team pushes. It's not something I hear many people talk about but OW never having a tutorial adds to an issue like this.

  • thechidoodles thechidoodles (@thechidoodles) reported

    So...loaded up my Overwatch 2 and none of my stuff is there. Do I need to submit a ticket or will patches they implement, fix it?

  • jacbocrist Jacob 💜 MINICHA MONTH! TOMBOY 167 PAK 💜🎉🎉 (@jacbocrist) reported

    @turninwheel Literally this ranked system ******* SUCKS, i had my issues with the way they calculated total points gained and lost in overwatch 1 but this **** is the most grindy agonizingly slow way they could have remodeled it

  • PaulRegener Paul Regener (@PaulRegener) reported

    @ThaGavMan @JaqueMc1990 @FroggerOW That’s because you suck Blizzard’s **** my man. This game was THE MOST unnecessary game release to date. The game you can’t even log in right now and people’s stats from Overwatch 1 are getting reverted. The game was a crash grab

  • Mangodragon847 Mango 🐉🥭 Commissions closed (@Mangodragon847) reported

    Overwatch 2 has its issues, but I’m really enjoying my time with the game. The daily/weekly objectives gives me a reason to login more often,and the battle pass gives me cosmetics I can work towards earning. Its better than opening random loot boxes hoping to pull the skin I want

  • Dr2Super SuperDR2K (@Dr2Super) reported

    When you use the Bastion Ult glitch and still lose. #Overwatch

  • AfghanMeatman Yeah (@AfghanMeatman) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Why ******** did I just get a matchmaking ban after I got an LC-208 error code? Your ****** Overwatch 2 servers are still broken and I’m being punished for it?

  • skadipilled emi ❄️ (@skadipilled) reported

    overwatch 2 fixed everything that wasn't a problem and ignored all the actual problems honestly

  • eddieyousuck egg but in spanish 🍳 (@eddieyousuck) reported from Downingtown, Pennsylvania

    Leave it to the overwatch 2 devs to try to nerf bastion only for his ult bug to make him absolutely broken

  • Groovyulg Groovy (@Groovyulg) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch 2 bug : getting an Xbox achievement disconnects you from the game until it ends. It got suspended 1 hour because of this. Could you guys please fix this ?

  • IKatana87 IceKatana87 (@IKatana87) reported

    @hanzo_VT My main problems would be finding time and the fact I suck xD I did play Overwatch though so I'm not completely clueless on what I do at least

  • DonRL_ Don (@DonRL_) reported

    @ssj4justdale @cheataah @The_MrCupid And if u believe that it takes more then 5+ years to make changes like that then keep believing. Overwatch 2 literally just implemented a 2FA and a 50 game win completion to play comp which completely wiped 80-90% of the problem. So keep thinking that it will take "Time"

  • Ecliptyk_ Ecliptyk (@Ecliptyk_) reported

    Trying to get back into Overwatch with Overwatch 2s release has been a ****** experience. Gameplay is pretty much the exact same and there's very little incentive to return with no new content. Not to mention dumb server issues and and more pay walls. Meh
